The United Kingdom — a nation that once ruled a quarter of the globe — is now spending £1.3 million in taxpayer money to train nursery workers to report toddlers to the police for “racist incidents.” Not teenagers. Not adults. Toddlers. Children who still eat crayons and can’t tie their shoes are now potential hate criminals in the eyes of the British government.
Because nothing says “functioning society” like calling the cops on a three-year-old.
The program is called Diversity and Anti-Racist Professional Learning — DARPL for short — and it’s based at Cardiff Metropolitan University in Wales. According to The Telegraph, which broke the story, DARPL has distributed guidance to over 300 nurseries, playgroups, and childminders across Wales, training staff to identify alleged “racist incidents” among children and assess whether the behavior could amount to a “hate crime.” Staff are instructed to contact police via 999 or 101 if they believe a toddler has crossed the line.
Let that sink in. A kid who can barely form complete sentences is supposed to be evaluated for hate crimes. By a nursery worker. Who then calls the police.
The guidance also includes lessons on “white privilege” for childcare workers and instructions to audit toys, books, and classroom resources for “diversity.” The goal, according to the program, is to create “anti-racist” environments in early childhood settings. Because apparently the sandbox is ground zero for systemic oppression.
This whole operation is funded by the Welsh Government — which, like the rest of the UK, is run by Labour. The same Labour Party that keeps wondering why voters are abandoning them in record numbers. Maybe — and I’m just spitballing here — it’s because you’re spending seven figures to police the finger-painting table.
GB News flagged the story as “Orwellian madness,” and honestly, that might be underselling it. George Orwell wrote about thought police. He didn’t imagine they’d be deployed against people in diapers.
Here’s the thing we need to understand on this side of the Atlantic: this isn’t just British insanity. This is the logical endpoint of every DEI program, every “anti-racism” training, every “equity audit” that American schools have been rolling out for years. The UK just got there faster because they didn’t have a First Amendment to slow them down.
We warned about the slippery slope. They didn’t just slide down it — they launched themselves off the cliff with a £1.3 million catapult.
Over 300 nurseries are now part of this scheme. Three hundred places where a toddler sharing a toy the wrong way could end up in a police report. Three hundred places where “white privilege” is being taught to people who supervise kids who still believe in the tooth fairy.
And the taxpayers of Wales are footing the bill.
If you ever want to know why populist movements are surging across the Western world, this is your answer. Regular people look at their government spending over a million pounds to create a racism watchlist for two-year-olds and they think — correctly — that the people in charge have completely lost the plot.
The toddlers aren’t the problem. The adults running this program are.
